Crafty Individuals Spotlight No.1

Hi everyone!

Laura here to introduce our first Sponsor Spotlight for this month! Our Sponsor this month is Crafty Individuals who have so generously donated a massive bundle of goodies that will be on it's way to one very lucky winner this month.

To demonstrate some of their lovely stamps and masks is our wonderful Joi....She has done her usual magical work on an amazing masterpiece. Please read on and see what she made because it is well worth seeing!

HOWDY from Joi at RR!It's gorgeous at the ranch today - spring is in full bloom.

Actually, I'm not sure why I stamped the Crafty Individuals "Walk In The Park" couple in red... just
picked it up first and thought - why not. Imagine my surprise when the
red that made it onto the canvas. No idea why - it just seemed to be
"right"!

There
were a few pieces of the napkin left, so here you see the cut-out
pieces that were Deco-Paged onto the board here and there.

Hehehehhe - almost used every inch of that napkin!

Using DecoArt Media Modeling Paste and the incredibly nice quality Crafty Individuals "Leafy
Branches" Mask.... I began "building" the archway. In the picture below
- one side is already done - and the other side is in process with the
mask still attached.

Then, began the painting!!

You can also see in this picture that the Hero Arts stamp - appreciate WHAT IS - was used . . . .

The archway needed to look "special," so out came some Ranger Stickles and Liquid Pearls, to add that beautiful shimmer!

In
the beginning, I was just painting in the places that were already
there on the napkin but... I couldn't contain myself and before long the
bunches of flowers became trees!!!!

I added a few jewels from my stash near the horizon line!

These pictures were taken in hopes that perhaps you can see some of the glitter and shimmer of the piece.

Don't forget to finish your project for our "HIT THE BOOKS" challenge. I know you have some book paper!! You could be the lucky randomly selected winner of a huge bundle of Crafty Individuals goodies to play with!

Remember....

"APPRECIATE WHAT IS"

Even on the most challenging days......we can all find something to appreciate each day and be thankful :)
